Pasolini. In order not to look in the mirror 
On November 2, 1975, full of years of terrorism and the strategy of tension, Pier Paolo Pasolini was killed. His feverish intellectual and artistic activities, his statements challenging position and a scandalous private life in the eyes of right-thinking people died in a pitch in the suburbs. Here we reconstruct the political climate in which he developed the murder, one of the many mysteries of our country.
1969-1980. Italy is a country where murder and shot in the legs
political opponents, the massacre of innocent civilians
, the '
use of violence are tools of political struggle in which the national system and the public are forced to relate to. Civil society and the Italian institutions face the difficult challenge of terrorism and bloody political matrix of fascist and communist. The episode that officially marks
the birth of the strategy of tension is the neo-fascist massacre carried out in Milan on 12 December at the headquarters of the National Bank for Agriculture
Fountain Square, near the Cathedral: 17 dead and 88 wounded, an inextricable mystery made
false leads and covers intelligence diverted whose aftermath is still affecting the democratic life of the Italian.
On May 28, 1974 in Brescia, Piazza della Loggia
, there is a union rally.
explodes a bomb and killed eight innocent . Just over two months later, on August 4, 1974, near Bologna, another bomb explodes on a train
Italicus and 12 people die. The bloodiest incident, the backlash of neo-fascist terrorism stragista is 2 August 1980.
the Bologna train station a bomb explodes,
85 innocent people die and 200 are injured . Terrorism black worked the massacres through bomb attacks in public places, to create a climate favorable to a move the Italian political reactionary and authoritarian axis. The most striking incident of terrorism
left is accomplished by the Red Brigades, the armed party on 16 March 1978 makes a significant leap in the target and used in military strategy. The Red Brigades kidnap the President Christian Democrat Aldo Moro
killing 5 men of his escort. That day in Parliament was to vote for a government led by Andreotti also supported by the Communists. It seemed that the Red Brigades with their court, the people's court shall conduct a process
the Christian Democrats, the party of "counterrevolution," "anti-worker", "gear of a perfect bourgeois and capitalist system operated by the United States 'America. "
On May 9, the body of Aldo Moro is found in the boot of a Renault 4 in central Rome, close to the headquarters of the Christian Democrats and a few meters from the PCI. In choosing where to find the body of the poor Moro, reads a very high symbolic political value.
In 11 years in Italy there were 11 massacres which resulted in 150 deaths and 551 injuries . A total of 12 690 attacks, 362 dead and 4490 injured. Impressive numbers of
civil war that has bloodied the country's border between the West and liberal capitalist with a strong Communist Party and East of the socialist block and important. The country was crossed by anxiety betrayed in the aftermath of revolutionary resistance to fascism and reactionary coup attempts that looked like the fall of democracy in Greece in 1967 and Chile in 1973. In this political and social climate
Pier Paolo Pasolini conducting its feverish intellectual activity and artistic expression. Novels, films, plays, poetry, public debates, newspaper articles, polemics, opinions and provocative in the eyes of scandalous private life made him a well-meaning
character unique in Italy's postwar intellectual .
Pasolini felt a poet and a poet was for him an eternal indignation. And his outrage expressed by all the means at his disposal. After the massacre of Piazza Fontana Pasolini created in collaboration with the extra-parliamentary group, Lotta Continua
a counter-documentary entitled "12 December" . It was a journey from north to south in the Italy of those years that was the backdrop to an attempt to piece together the facts, names, events, assumptions and evidence on the terrible tragedy which had also triggered a violent police repression and self-serving to the world of anarchy and extra-parliamentary left.
After the massacre of August 4, Italo Calvino wrote, "The plan is certainly a subversive fascist threat, but more insidious and concrete, because already in place, is the establishment of an Anti-State coexisting stably with the leaders of our democracy eroding power through blackmail, with the massacres and the settling of old scores. " Pier Paolo Pasolini
hard and took a stand clear even from the columns in the Corriere della Sera , the journal of the Milanese bourgeoisie. On 14 November 1974 wrote a famous article entitled "What is this coup?" Pasolini writing his debut: "I know. I know the names of those responsible for what is called a coup. [...] I know the names of those responsible for the massacre in Milan on December 12, 1969. I know the names of those responsible for massacres of Brescia and Bologna in the first months of 1974. " Words of fire strike again today for their angry and visceral charge. Pasolini in pitted hypothesis that at the time seemed incomprehensible that only a parliamentary committee (the Commission Slaughter) was able to decipher decades later.
Pasolini continued writing the article: "I know. But I have no evidence. I did not even clues. I know because I am an intellectual, a writer who tries to follow everything that happens [...], to imagine all that you do not know or is silent; coordinating events even distant events that puts together the pieces of fragmented and disorganized an entire coherent policy framework that restores the logic where there seems to be the arbitrariness, the madness and mystery. This is all part of my job and instinct of my job. " Where does such confidence and strength in being able to write words on a conservative newspaper sharp and destabilizing the climate of a war Civil under the keen eye of U.S. and USSR to Italy? When Pasolini was killed in homosexual environments Romans fell a tense atmosphere, tinged with fear and silence. Are also rumors that turned
recently Pasolini did too many questions to children living . He was interested only in their work, relationships with their patrons, the anthropological mutation or trying something different? The chairman of the massacres will probably guess that the stray and desperate nights experienced by Pasolini in the Roman world of the marginalized, in those years on the border with the galaxy of subversive neo-fascist right, Pier Paolo to lead his personal investigations towards a truth which still
We can only speculate .
On 28 August 1975 on the pages of the weekly "Il Mondo" Pasolini went so far as to process the Christian Democrats with a famous article, openly accusing powerful men of the party as Andreotti, Fanfani and noise, and taking care to emphasize the respectability of Moro and Zaccagnini, Democrats as prominent members. Pasolini accused them of "unworthiness, contempt for the public, handling public money, wheeling and dealing with the oil companies, with industry, with bankers, co-operation with the CIA, illegal use of bodies such as the Sid (Defence Intelligence Service of the Italian State ed), accountability in the murder of Milan, Brescia and Bologna (at least as culpable failure to hit the performers), destruction of landscape and urban planning in Italy, responsible for the degradation of Italian anthropological, responsibility for the blast "wild" of mass culture and mass media, the criminal responsibility of stupidity television.
few days after the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, Giorgio Galli political scientist wrote an article titled "This was not the process desired by Pasolini." In November 1974, Pasolini and other friends were surrounded by a group of fascists who shouted "fag, fag." A few months before the terrible night of 1 and 2 November Pasolini had been extorting money from two hustlers who threatened to throw him into the Tiber. Pasolini was killed when he finished filming "
Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom " published posthumously and worked on the novel "Oil
. The core theme that revolved around these two works were the
power, the power set in the Republic of Salò and power tied to oil, black gold, a development paradigm of Western capitalist societies. Pasolini was looking through that book to shed light on the mechanisms of internal power
Eni company, then state that dealt with energy resources. The chairman of Eni
Enrico Mattei , brilliant manager was invisible to American companies producing crude, had died in a mysterious plane crash in 1962. Fanfani define Mattei's death "a terrorist act." In 1972 the director Francesco Rosi
, the exponent of cinema's most important civic and historical reconstruction in Italy, turned "The case
Mattei, beautiful film that tries to shed light on the activity of Mattei and his mysterious death. For help in finding leaks on the last hours spent by Mattei useful in Sicily on the screenplay, Rosi Palermo involving a journalist named
Mauro De Mauro . In September of 1970 De Mauro
disappear and his body is never found . In the Sicilian Mafia jargon, this method is called vanishing white shotgun. This is the view held in "Deep Black
. Mattei, De Mauro, Pasolini. A one-track the origins of the massacres of State " written by Joseph Lo Bianco and Sandra Rizza, Chiarelettere Editions. In short Pasolini in the last days of his life was haunted by evil mechanisms of power and Italian led a private life increasingly dangerous. Perhaps it had information that Scott is, however, was able to reconstruct the economic-political-criminal which was consuming the bloody theorem strategy of tension. The outrage, the intuitions, the moral high voltage, the courage to write and report, the positions were provocative and counter-Pasolini's an awkward figure in the Italian political scene. Mario Mieli gay writer, who committed suicide in 1983, he wrote: "I believe that Pasolini was killed by one or more male prostitute. What is certain is that Pasolini was killed in that situation because only homosexuals can get into situations like that. Thus, the discourse on sexuality in relation to this political assassination we do it, fags. " (Elements of critical homosexual, Einaudi, 1977). The above-mentioned Giorgio Galli writes that you can not analyze his murder by placing a piece of the complicated and bloody policy framework of those years (a political crime, in AA.VV., Murder in the person of Pier Paolo Pasolini, Kaos Edizioni, 1992). In 1995 the director Marco Tullio Giordana
dall'esplicativo investigation will shoot a film entitled "
Pasolini - Italian Murder .
Pasolini remains today an illustrious known in Italy. The above-mentioned Giorgio Galli wrote, "Pasolini lived in a painful contradiction. Not because he was homosexual, but because it uses its money and its prestige in order to obtain sexual services: a position more difficult, as he had become an expression of "public conscience" [...]. " This is not enough to explain the '
oblivion when the imposing figure of Pasolini has to live . His films are screened in the cultural circles, in the unlikely art-house cinemas and on television during the night. In the death anniversaries of the stores that sell books fitted out the shop windows with their books and DVDs of Pasolini. Mad chips television broadcast footage of his interviews. His books used on the stalls are selling at close certainly not cheap. Political and intellectual hypocrites
reactionaries are exploiting his poem "Dear students hate you" whenever there is tension Social who see the clashes between police and groups of protesters (paradigmatic murder of Carlo Giuliani by a policeman at the G8 summit in Genoa in Calabria in 2001). Intellectuals and ordinary people go to a secular pilgrimage to his grave in the beloved town of Ostia and Casarsa in Friuli, where he was killed, but Pasolini
lacking in conscience and shared history of Italy . Pasolini divide not unite. Pasolini is not known to Italians as the truth is unknown and the historical consciousness of unpunished killings, deaths excellent, the mysteries of state, dark textures, etc. of the mysteries of the Mafia. Etc.. Etc.. Pasolini is unknown because irreverence of his writings and his political stances, he joined his death symbolically rich in charm and full of mystery. Speaking of Pasolini and his sacrifice means to shed light on aspects of the turbulent post-war Italian history. Would force Italy to open his locker, looking for their skeletons and then looking in the mirror. Operation unbearable. Read the article on
